had hai apni taraf nahin main bhi — Josh Malihabadi

vahaan se hai miri himmat ki ibtidaa vallaah
jo intihaa hai tire sabr aazmaane ki

haan aasmaan apni bulandi se hoshiyaar
ab sar uThaa rahe hain kisi aastaan se ham

ik na ik zulmat se jab vaabasta rahnaa hai to 'josh'
zindagi par saaya-e-zulf-e-pareshaan kyuun na ho

ham aise ahl-e-nazar ko subut-e-haq ke liye
agar rasul na hote to subh kaafi thi

kaam hai meraa taghayyur naam hai meraa shabaab
meraa naara inqilaab o inqilaab o inqilaab

naqsh-e-khayaal dil se miTaayaa nahin hanuz
be-dard main ne tujh ko bhulaayaa nahin hanuz
